Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo's diary of his yogic practice between 1909 and 1927. This two-volume record of sadhana contains fairly regular entries between 1912 and 1920 and a few entries in 1909, 1911 and 1927. It also contains related materials Sri Aurobindo wrote about his practice of yoga during this period, including descriptions of the seven 'chatusthayas' (groups of four elements), which are the basis of the yoga of the 'Record'.

The Sortilege. It is to be revived once more. There is no writing this morning. The script is also to resume its movement. First, it has to be absolutely spontaneous. That is almost finished. It is a little obstacle, the suggestion.

Most of the amertume is a momentarily effective amnesia of the amara purusha. Momentary only. That is all at all today possible.

This denial must suffice both for the present and for all similar ascriptions in the future.

T² first—not complete, but perfect in the representative imperative—logos Vijnana

Thought-siddhi in interpretative imperative—d[itt]o.

Rupa siddhi, not yet stable.

Internal vijnana—perfect in thought-siddhi—growing in lipi[,] drishya etc
